hum, a lot of good ides. i dont believe the light leak is a problem. i just dont know. never had a male, only buy femzzz
The term "hermaphrodite" derives from Hermaphroditus, the son of Hermes and Aphrodite in Greek mythology, who was fused with a nymph, Salmacis, resulting in one individual possessing physical traits of both sexes.
The question whether it is a good idea to grow cannabis from feminized seeds can be disputed.
On one hand you have seeds that will produce female plants to a certainty of 99%. On the other hand you have the genetic makeup to consider. Feminized seeds are produced by allowing or chemically inducing hermafroditism in a female plant, which is then used to fertilize either itself or other female plants. Thusly the genetic makeup of the offspring consists of 100% female genes. The plants grown from these seeds will either be female or hermaphrodites.
The reason why these seeds exist in the first place is that they remove the need to sex plants before flowering which saves growers a lot of time and trouble. If one has the sole intention of growing and flowering plants for a sensimillia crop, the feminized seeds represent a valid choice. These plants may or may not turn hermaphrodite. If they are somewhat resistant to this condition in despite of the hermaphroditic parent or parents, the grown feminized plants can also be cloned and kept as mother plants in order to produce several crops of the particular strain. The more stable the individual plant is, the more suitable it is for cloning.
However, and this is the point of this debate; if one has any plan of ever using the plant to produce seeds the genetic makeup is invalid for this purpose. This is because the feminized plants carry genes for the hermaphroditic trait that is dominant in cannabis plants. The hermaphroditic parent or parents were chosen because they carried the gene for this dual-sex condition. Therefore some, if not all of the offspring from this plant will have a tendency to become hermaphroditic under stress or even spontaneously under favorable conditions. When it comes to breeding, this is naturally a very undesirable trait. Since hermafroditism is a dominant trait it is likely that from the second generation (F2) onwards, more and more plants will display this trait.
Hermafroditism also occurs spontaneously in cannabis plants in nature as an emergency response to the absence of either sex in a colony, also observed in frogs.
Although hermafroditism is a naturally occurring phenomenon that favors cannabis in the wild, normal diecious individuals can also display this trait in unfavorable environmental conditions. Some examples are too high or low temperatures, light leaks, over-watering or over-fertilization. The absence of males might also be enough for the females to change sex, this is however not a proven fact just an educated guess. Normal plants will most likely turn if they are genetically prone to this condition. Once turned, these females will form modified or incomplete pollen sacks that look like bananas which are hard to notice and usually end up pollinating the entire sensimillia crop.
Sorry it was so long.thought maybe the info may help ya out.
) and can be the answer to what happened.
